2.326
Description
After updating from 2.324 to 2.325 Jenkins does not start anymore. The only visible web page states that the root directory /jenkins could not be created.
Surely /jenkins already exists. It is a symbolic link to another directory.

Meanwhile we've restored 2.324 by renaming back the jenkins.war.bak to jenkins.war. The logs seem not to contain any related error messages.
The step that caused the error was probably the update which is done automatically every time a new Jenkins version is released. The problem occurred on at least two Jenkins installations.

added a comment - I ran into same issue on two different Ubuntu 18.04 servers. Same basic log error.
